When I Needed You

about

For Pierre

lyrics

I was guilty as a schoolboy
With his pockets turned out and his head bowed down
And my eyes were filled with dirty little secrets
All the pieces, all the niggling doubts
And my heart was beating faster
And the blood was rushing past just to know your name
Won't you hold me close now baby
Won't you comfort all the fear and all the pride

Because I needed you, Babe

My innocence is fading
With the years and all the promises we made
And I can just recall the good times
Or maybe I just dreamed them all away
I'm as gentle as a victim and I was comforted by names
And I was satisfied with silence when you played your little games
Would you hold me close now baby
Would you hold me close
And would you need me now

Because I needed you

I've got four walls and a window
But the shouting and the noise won't let me dream
And I'm ashamed of all the drinking
And I'm ashamed of all the tears that I can't cry
You should have been a fortune
Babe you were diamonds, you were pearls and like a fool I didn't care for them
And I let you down,
When I let you down

And I needed you
